Also whilst moving around the room during the ceremony I often feel very self-conscious that I may be bothering the guests. <BR/><BR/>Our advantage is that we take two photographers to a wedding. My dad has been a wedding photographer for years and now that i&#39;m out of education I have started learning the ropes, and going along, using his old D200. I often stand at the back of the ceremony and try to get nice wide-angled shots of the scene, as my dad sweet talks his way to the front to get the best possible shots of the B&amp;G.<BR/><BR/>This also works as he attempts to get group shots together and I try to get as many natural looking shots as possible to go into the albums.<BR/><BR/>Cheers, JamesJames Wedding Photographyhttp://lintonstudios.co.uk/news/wedding-photography-prices/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2312640351553996069.post-12537789920335390632009-02-12T11:20:00.000+00:002009-02-12T11:20:00.000+00:00Thanks for that David.

I have been shouted out by the vicar during the vows "Will You Stop Moving Around?!" when all I did was slightly lean to my right to whisper to a colleague. <BR/><BR/>One wedding I was told not to take any photos during the ceremony. I know 99 times out of 100 you can get away with taking some shots if you are discreet. We all know that we are paid by the bride and groom, not by the Vicar. To miss some of the best shots of the day for a Vicar who wants to dominate everyone is wrong (in my opinion). A brides wedding is the best day of her life. So I took a couple of shots with the camera around my neck (flash OFF of course) – during the hymns so as not to disturb anyone at all, in any shape or form. The vicar noticed (him of course being the only one who did) and chucked me out of the ceremony. Luckily I had my assistant separate from me who managed to get some shots without the Vicar noticing. :o) After the ceremony the Vicar then allowed me back in to capture the signing of the register. The bride and groom could not believe what happened and vowed never to return to the church again. The bride said after ‘Don’t worry about him – we don’t like him anyway!’<BR/><BR/>No wonder people don’t want to go to church these days when you have people like that running the service!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2312640351553996069.post-44193923586996436832009-02-10T10:30:00.000+00:002009-02-10T10:30:00.000+00:00Canon also make a time-lapse programmable remote s...Canon also make a time-lapse programmable remote shutter. <BR/><BR/>Or you could place a large mirror near by and take reflected images :)Peter Starvisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2312640351553996069.post-69879070418151987102009-02-09T16:15:00.000+00:002009-02-09T16:15:00.000+00:00That's an excellent idea Peter.

They are a much more relaxed breed.<BR/>We are considering buying a decent point and shoot camera, which as they don't have loud shutters, may let us get a few descrete shots in forbidden situations.<BR/>All the bestWedding Photographer Yorkshirehttp://www.lintonstudios.co.uk/news/noreply@blogger.com
